Thanks to you, I spent 5 hours tonight looking at the Krass brothers ads, going to Local Philadelphia station promos, then going all over the country, from New york to Washington (WTOP was disturbing) to LA, and finally ending up at TV studio logos like Paramount, and Viacom. I don’t know why, but as a kid, and it seems for many people, those station and studio IDs seemed to scare young children. Anyway, here’s some highlights from my YouTube surfing:
THIS ONE IS HILARIOUS!!!

Glad to help push you along on a nice little cyber journey... :). I used to drive one of my former bosses apesheet nuts by humming the first line of that Ideal commercial jingle...it would bounce around in his melon for the remainder of the day. :)
Yikes...it is amazing that Willard Scott surpassed that early level of creepiness - who'd have thought it possible. That's one of those clowns that you'd never let near the children...the clown doll from Poltergeist was less scary. Heh.
Five hours of Krass brothers ads has been known to cause dementia. :). Nice little writeup about the owner of the store (guy in commercials) here: http://www.broadcastpioneers.com/krass.html
From the article: "His last wish was to have a plaque inscribed, 'He went in a Krass Brothers suit.' He did!"
